Cratloe, Clonlara and Crusheen have secured their places in the last four of the Canon Hamilton Cup.

In yesterday's quarter-final triple-header at Cusack Park, Cratloe recorded a 2-20 to 2-13 victory over Eire Og in the opening game. The winners held a 2-10 to 2-8 lead at the break with Cathal McInerney and Conor McGrath netting for them, and David Reidy scoring a brace for the Ennis side.

But Cratloe pulled clear for a comfortable victory after Eire Og had Barry Nugent red-carded in the second half.

Clonlara eliminated O'Callaghan's Mills at the quarter-final stage for the third year in-a-row thanks to a 3-20 to 2-11 victory. County star John Conlon finished with a personal tally of 3-11, with his first goal helping Kevin Galvin's men to a 1-9 to 1-7 half-time lead.

The best was left 'til last as a late 1-1 from Conor O'Donnell handed 2011 champions Crusheen a dramatic 1-16 to 1-13 win over 2012 winners Newmarket-on-Fergus.

The last of the quarter-finals between local rivals Ballyea and Clarecastle will throw-in at 1pm in Cusack Park today.
